《BOOT STRAPS》The Bomb
Advertisement
I was sitting in the living room with the twins. We were seated on the fluffy rug in the middle of the living room watching a movie.
My mind wasn't in the movie, I was reminiscing what had happened in the morning with my mom. I'm so happy she's back into my life.
It was in the noon and I didn't go to work today, Drake advised me to stay home for a week before resuming.
"This lady is so dumb !"Busola said referring to the TV character in the movie. I didn't even know what it was about because my mind has been wandering about.
"I couldn't agree more and she reminds me of you."Busola threw some popcorn at Busayo in reaction to her comment which made me giggle.
"Don't you guys ever stop ?"I chuckled admiring how cute they looked whenever they were having their little fights.
The door bell rang and Monica appeared from nowhere and rushed towards the door. I don't know what it is but I have my doubts about her.
I looked over at the door to see who it was. It was detective Darius and Thelma. I got up from where I laid and straightened my shirt.
The twins got up from the ground with the bowl of popcorn in their hands. We exchanged a look and they knew I needed to talk to them alone. I watched as they went into the kitchen.
Monica still stood in the living room and she didn't look like she was going to be leaving anytime soon.
"Your services are not needed at the moment, thanks." I dismissed her but I caught a scowl on her face which she quickly hid with a smile as she left the living room.
"Good afternoon Miss Skai."Darius greeted me as he walked into the living room.
I gestured for he and Thelma to come have a seat as I settled in one of the cushion.
"How are you feeling now ?" Thelma asked me as she sat beside Darius.
"I'm doing fine at least I'm trying not to think of Andre."I rubbed my temples as I relaxed into the chair.
"That's good, well we have some news regarding the blood in your apartment." Darius took out some pictures from his pocket.
Some of the picture were scenes from my house showing some furniture stained with blood, one of the picture showed a pressure hose covered in blood while the other was a picture of a farmhouse with farm animals around.

"What are these for ?"I asked them looking at the pictures.
"They'd be explaining what happened in your house." Thelma said as she spaced out the pictures on the centre table.
"We carried out tests on the blood samples we took from your house and the results showed that it is real blood."Chills ran down my spine as I heard what Darius told me. I wondered who he had murdered and whose blood was dripping in my house.
"Calm down Skai, it's not human blood." Thelma smiled at me as she reached out for the picture of the farmhouse.
"The DNA results shows that the blood was from cows and pigs, probably farm animals." She said as she passed me the photo.
"Thank Goodness no one got murdered." I sighed as I took a glimpse at the photo.
"So we decided to check around town and for the nearest farm and we got two, one was not functioning which left us with that one." Darius said as he pointed at the photo in my hands.
"So we interrogated the owner of the farm and that was where we hit the jackpot."Thelma eyes had spark in them as she spoke showing her excited she was.
"What did you find out ?"I asked putting the photo down on the table.
"We found out one of their lairs, the owner of the farm was grateful we showed up, he told us they've been tormenting him and his farm animals,so that means he got the cows from there."Darius said as she stroked his chin.
"So we questioned him further and he told us that the gang except Andre comes to the farm every Wednesday which mean we could get a grip on his men and find out more about them."Thelma hit her clenched fists on her laps like she made an achievement.
"So what about the pressure hose ?"I pointed to the photo of the pressure hose on the table.
"Oh that's what was used to spray your apartment with the blood, we found it in your bedroom." Thelma gathered the photos from the table and put them in her pocket.
"I really appreciate the work you all are doing and thank you so much" I appreciated them for the hard work they've put into the case because within a day they were able to get so much work done.
"Don't mention. It's our job and this is one of our lead cases and Andre is every cop worst enemy ."Darius said as he stood up from the couch.

"And keep this information between your family and any trusted ones." Thelma instructed as she got up from the couch also.
"Noted."I walked them out of the house to where their car was parked. I waved them goodbye as they drove out of the gate.
As I was about to turn I spot a figure behind the bushes outside the gates, the person was fondling with something in the bushes, as soon as the person looked up and saw me, the person smirked and ran away.
Lot of thoughts went through my mind as I rushed to the guards post by the gate.
"I saw someone outside the gate, hiding among the bushes can one of you go check it out ?" I requested as the guards looked at each other and two of them walked out of the guard post and approached the gate.
They went out of the gate and crossed to the other side of the road. One of the guard had his hand on his gun that was strapped to his side while the other examined the bushes.
I and the other guards watched them from the compound then the guard who was was checking the bushes had his eyes wide opened and he immediately went on his running his hands through a back pack.
I wanted to go over to where they were but one of the guards stopped me. The other guards who went with him rushed to him and they both squat by the back pack.
After a while, they came into the compound and closed the gate behind them. The guard with the back pack in his hands stepped forward and had a stern look.
"What happened ?, What did you find ?" I asked him anxiously awaiting a reply.
"We just disarmed a bomb."Shock ran through my face as I heard his words. A bomb! Of all things to find in a back pack.
"What !" I shouted at the peak of my voice that people from the house could hear me which probably made the twins rush out of the house with Monica trailing behind them.
They ran to where the guards and I were. They wrapped their hands around and they liked really worried.
"What happened ?"Busola asked one of the guards as she pacified me while Busayo walked towards the guard standing with the back pack.
"We found a bomb."The guard told her which made her jump away in fear from the back pack.
"We'd inform boss."One of the guard walked away to call Drake ask the guard took the bomb away.
"Why don't we go inside now."Monica cane closer and rubbed me by the shoulder and ushered us inside.
So many events has happened within this week I got back from New York and with the why I receive shock from each one of them, I would definitely get an heart attack one day.
The twins and I were in their room and we laid on the bed cuddling each other. The girls were terrified about what they had seen and I tried to calm them down but I was more terrified than them.
The door was flinged open which made the twins flinch in my arms. Drake rushed in and the twins ran into his arms.
He looked weary, his tie was loose and he wasn't wearing his jacket. He hugged the girls tightly then he climbed up the bed and wrapped me in a hug.
"Skai, are you okay ?"He asked me as I nodded slowly in return. He got up from the bed and slapped the bedside lamp from the table top making it smash into pieces.
The girls flinched at the shattered glass and cane up the bed to stay with me.
"It's all my fault ! I should have stayed at home and I shouldn't have brought you two to Atlanta."He pointed at the twins who were looking really scared. I got up from the bed and took Drake hands in mine.
"It's no one's fault, you didn't know this was going to happen and even if you were home, you wouldn't stop the bomb from being there and as for the girls they are fine and safe with you." I squeezed his hands slightly as I spoke to him. He closes his eyes and let out a heavy sigh.
"This is it ! I'm going to take this to the next level. He's not going to have it easy."He said as he stormed out of the room.
So this is the game Andre wants to play. He just used his wildcard and he. succeeded in weakening me.
